6.1 Electrocardiography (ECG)
Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 – Page 77
6.1.12 Monitoring heart/pulse rate with no leads
If the ECG is not attached to the patient, then the heart rate will be taken from the pulse oximeter if this is
attached to the patient. Otherwise no heart rate will be shown.
Note
If the ECG is not connected but the pulse oximeter is, the heart rate will be show in the
same place, in green but the signal will be derived from the pulse oximeter. In this event the
reading will be labelled as shown below. In this condition the systole (heart symbol) is not
shown and the systole tone will not sound. High and low heart rate alarms will operate as
before.
If the ECG is inoperable then the ECG will either show a “Leads off” error for the specific Lead that is
unavailable or will show a technical error as described in section “7.4 Technical alarms”.
